When I was a kid, a friend of mine used a chain link fence for an antenna on
75 mtrs. Man was he ever strong at my house...of course he was running 500 
watts on AM.
Oh yeah, he was less than a mile away. The guys 30 miles away couldn't hear 
him
and my dinky dipole and 60 watts was 20 over to them...Ya get what ya pay for..
unless it is an expensive extremely shortened antenna! Then BEWARE... there 
are no
EASY solutions...else we would all be loading a single beer can for our 
antenna!
